We will have two lines spaced 10 meters apart (about 33 feet). We will be doing “suicide-style” runs, increasing the distance run by 10 meters per minute. You will progress until you cannot complete the run in the minute. In minute 1, you will run 10 meters and rest the remainder of the minute. In minute two you will run to the line, touch and run back, resting for the remainder of the minute.

Preheat non stick omelette pan on medium low for 30 seconds.
Whisk the eggs together and season.Spray the preheated pan with the olive oil. Add Eggs. Cook for 1 minute. Place warm sautéed spinach and sautéed cherry tomatoes and wedge of cheese in the center.Cook until done, serve, enjoy!

My tomato garden is going crazy, esp with the wonderful little cherry tomatoes and my kids adore! I found this super recipe to use these summer delights in....give it a try. My favorite part is the SHORT list of ingredients and I have all the fresh ingredients in my garden. YUMMY!!

Check out the fun we had in bootcamp last night, it was hot in the cave, so, there was lots of sweat! I have to say that one of the best things about working out with this group is the amazing camarderie and support from the participants! They work so hard and it shows!

Lateral Jumps and Pushups

Race to 100 Thrusters
On the minute:

Complete 5 burpees and perform max rep thrusters on the minute.

The goal is to complete 100 total thrusters.

*At the beginning of every minute perform 5 burpees, for the rest of the minute perform as many thrusters as you can during that minute. At the beginning of the next minute perform 5 burpees and then max rep thrusters and so on until you reach 100 total thrusters.
